What if you’re worried about someone, but you’re scared to ask?

It can feel difficult to ask someone if they’re thinking about su***de. You might worry you’ll say the wrong thing or make things worse.

But asking directly can open up a conversation and give someone the chance to tell you how they’re really feeling.

You don’t need to have all the answers. Sometimes, asking is a good place to start.

Worried about someone?

Samaritans can help you talk through your concerns and work out what to do next.
